My Mottos

Personal development

I have decided to share with you my mottos, my resource beliefs, the life principles and the philosophy that have allowed me to live my professional dream and some personal dreams.

MOTTO #1 NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

«"Nothing is impossible."» is my guiding principle.

You'll find it in many of my communications. It's so deeply ingrained in me that the phrases «" I can't "» «"It's impossible."» And «"That's not done."» They burn my ears.

I have faith in life and its many possibilities, and I believe that if I free myself from constraints and limitations, then I can create what I want with all my love, and it will definitely work.

So far, nothing has contradicted this motto.

Now it's your turn to allow yourself the life you dream of! 🌈💓🍀🙏

MOTTO #2 I MOVE FORWARD IN SMALL STEPS

Nothing is impossible, yes, and I still respect my motto #2 to maximize my chances of succeeding.

Have you ever seen someone at the bottom of a building's staircase reach the last step in a single step? Me, apart from Batman, no… there's nothing wrong with moving slowly and surely.

Learn and take what you need from each day to progress towards our goal.

Do you believe that great athletes were great athletes from the start? No, each of them spent thousands of hours training. That's why there's nothing wrong with respecting the steps, with going step by step..

I wouldn't risk falling by skipping steps two at a time or three at a time. I respect my own pace and I progress towards my goal with determination and patience.

Some people seem to move faster than others. There's no point in comparing yourself, because not everything is visible to the naked eye.

For example, many people were surprised by how quickly I changed careers. Few of them know that I'd been thinking about it since 2008. So, 10 years to take the plunge! I really started talking about it in 2017…

A cathedral is not built in a day..🙏🌈💓

MOTTO #3 I BENCHMARK, I DON'T COMPARE MYSELF!

It's time to introduce my motto #3. A motto I've applied since I was little and which has saved me from many setbacks.

I often see people devalue themselves or feel jealousy or envy, lose confidence in themselves because they compare themselves to the people around them.

I'm not saying it's wrong to compare ourselves. It's human nature. Comparison can have negative consequences on our morale or it can be a driving force for progress depending on how we use it.

That's why I prefer to talk about benchmarking. Benchmarking is a process of observing and analyzing the practices used by others. Its goal is to improve one's own practices by drawing inspiration from what others are doing. That's exactly what I mean. Comparison is valuable when used to progress. In any case, there's no point in feeling inferior or envious of what others have that's better, more, or do better than us; you'll never be able to compare apples to apples. Indeed, you know little about people's ecosystems, their personalities first and foremost, but also their resources, their network, their education, their background, their choices, their assets, etc. All of this makes a comparison on equal footing impossible. As Austin Kleon says in his book "Fly Like an Artist," be inspired by the models you find brilliant, and build your own projects by reproducing some of their techniques, making them your own, and improving upon them.

Trust yourself, the grass isn't always greener on the other side, you have all the resources within you!

MOTTO #4 I EXPRESS AND EMBRACED THE POWER OF MY VULNERABILITY

I am a strong person, who has overcome hardships in her life, 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓶𝓮 𝓿𝓸𝓾𝓼. I bounce back from difficulties, 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓶𝓮 𝓿𝓸𝓾𝓼.

𝓜𝓪𝓲𝓼 𝓳𝓮 𝓷𝓮 𝓶𝓮 𝓿𝓸𝓲𝓵𝓮 𝓹𝓪𝓼 𝓵𝓪 𝓯𝓪𝓬𝓮, 𝓮𝓽 𝓳𝓮 𝓷𝓮 𝓹𝓻𝓮́𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓼 𝓹𝓪𝓼 𝓮̂𝓽𝓻𝓮 𝓲𝓷𝓮́𝓫𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮. 𝓙'𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓺𝓾𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓳𝓮 𝓿𝓪𝓲𝓼 𝓫𝓲𝓮𝓷 𝓮𝓽 𝓳'𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓺𝓾𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓳𝓮 𝓿𝓪𝓲𝓼 𝓶𝓪𝓵. 𝓙𝓮 𝓭𝓮𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓮 𝓭𝓮 𝓵'𝓪𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓸𝓾 𝓭𝓮 𝓵'𝓮́𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓽𝓮 𝓺𝓾𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓳'𝓮𝓷 𝓪𝓲 𝓫𝓮𝓼𝓸𝓲𝓷. 𝓙𝓮 𝓹𝓵𝓮𝓾𝓻𝓮 𝓭𝓮 𝓳𝓸𝓲𝓮 𝓮𝓽 𝓭𝓮 𝓹𝓮𝓲𝓷𝓮.

ᴇᴛ ᴊᴇ ᴠᴀɪs ᴠᴏᴜs ᴅɪʀᴇ ᴘᴏᴜʀǫᴜᴏɪ:

Keeping everything to myself can make me sick.

I risk being alone if I project an image of a block of ice.

At work, colleagues may find it difficult to trust me and ask me for help.

Crying sometimes in my boss's office didn't stop me from advancing in my company and being appreciated by my colleagues. No one ever told me I was weak or a victim; quite the opposite.

𝓐 𝓺𝓾𝓸𝓲 𝓫𝓸𝓷 𝓶'𝓪𝓭𝓶𝓲𝓻𝓮𝓻 𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓬𝓮 𝓺𝓾𝓮 𝓳𝓮 𝓼𝓾𝓲𝓼 𝓾𝓷 𝓱𝓮́𝓻𝓸, 𝓾𝓷𝓮 𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓸𝓻, 𝓾𝓷𝓮 𝓰𝓾𝓮𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓮̀𝓻𝓮 ?

Respect me instead because I have the authenticity and courage to acknowledge my difficulties!

𝙉'𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙯-𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙦𝙪𝙚́ 𝙖𝙪 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙦𝙪𝙚 𝙡'𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙡𝙪𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙡'𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙚́𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙦𝙪'𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙚𝙪𝙭-𝙢𝙚̂𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙚𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙙𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙪𝙧𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙪𝙧𝙨 ?

Ａｌｏｒｓｆａｉｔｅｓｔｏｍｂｅｒｖｏｔｒｅａｒｍｕｒｅ !

MOTTO #5 I FREE MYSELF FROM THE WEIGHT OF APPEARANCES AND IMAGS AND I ACCEPT MYSELF AS I AM

𝓙𝓮 𝓷𝓮 𝓼𝓾𝓲𝓼 𝓹𝓵𝓾𝓼 𝓮𝓼𝓬𝓵𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓭𝓮 𝓶𝓸𝓷 𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮, 𝓳𝓮 𝓼𝓾𝓲𝓼 𝓲𝓷𝓭𝓮́𝓹𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓮 𝓮𝓽 𝓳𝓮 𝓶'𝓪𝓬𝓬𝓮𝓹𝓽𝓮 𝓽𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓮 𝓺𝓾𝓮 𝓳𝓮 𝓼𝓾𝓲𝓼.

Beauty is within; true love does not rely on appearances.

Until a few years ago, I spent my days depriving myself to conform to society's image dictates (what a coy!).

And to fit into uncomfortable clothes to show off all my efforts in order to be loved and succeed (I'm so proud of myself!).

It may seem superficial, but it is in reality a great suffering for many women and men. 𝐉'𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐢 𝐦𝐞̂𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐪𝐮'𝐚̀ 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐜'𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐞 𝐥'𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐪𝐮'𝐨𝐧 𝐬'𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚̀ 𝐬𝐨𝐢 𝐦𝐞̂𝐦𝐞.

What pulled me out of all that was the heart of indifference and the state of being: 𝐜'𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐱 𝐝𝐞 𝐥'𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞́𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐞 𝐥'𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐢 : 𝓬𝓮 𝓺𝓾𝓮 𝓳𝓮 𝓯𝓪𝓲𝓼 𝓳𝓮 𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓱𝓸𝓲𝓼𝓲𝓼 𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓶𝓸𝓲 𝓮𝓽 𝓬𝓮 𝓺𝓾𝓮 𝓳𝓮 𝓼𝓾𝓲𝓼 𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓺𝓾𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽.

And that doesn't stop me from succeeding in life and being surrounded by beautiful, sincere, and genuine souls. I'd even go so far as to say it's definitely better than before!

𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐳 𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐥(𝐥𝐞)𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐞̂𝐭𝐞𝐬, 𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐞̂𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬 !
